BMW service bulletin · NHTSA ID 10239607 · Jun 2023 · also written SI B52 07 23, B520723

What it covers

A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.

The front seat heating does not heat up after vehicle departure with the climate control in the automatic mode.
